ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Spiros starts with a magnetic field, an electric current, and a voltage appearing in an unexpected direction. Then he takes me from the quantum Hall effect to topology, entanglement, and the possibility that the universe works like a hologram.
I try to keep up with Mexican jumping beans, scratch holograms, and a light bulb. We explore why a messy experiment can produce astonishing precision, how a system’s global structure constrains what happens locally, and what it means to see the world from a particular point of view.

Mike Winter starts in an Alaska winter with little snow-going robots, opens Wired, and calls Mark Thorpe about Robot Wars — then builds the promo video, wins middleweight with a flipper, and finds a whole tribe of ILM and Silicon Valley people who just wanted to make dangerous fun machines.
We get…
Spiros asks me to forget what I know about physics and imagine we are in ancient Greece. I’m holding a rock. If I let go, why does it fall? Can I make it stop? Can I make it fall up? Those simple questions lead into his thought experiment about gravity and our movement through time — without starti…
I’ve got a real soft spot for outsiders—the poorly socialized nerds, hackers, lateral thinkers and other weirdos who refuse to accept the map they were handed. Spiros Michalakis has spent years at Caltech trying to figure out how to give more people access to the ideas and institutions normally res…
Mike Winter and I talk tools that run hot at home, Runway hands that finally get the fingernail polish right, and why he still collects dirty real artifacts — minidiscs, bad cameras, Phil Tippett garage-sale leftovers — instead of generating everything from scratch.
Then the origin story: boredom,…
